Why Antenna Manufacturers and Distributors Are Right In Saying You Should Up-Grade To A New Digital Off-Air Antenna
While cable and satellite program providers will continue to serve the great majority of homes as the primary signal source, missing HD local reception, compression issues, higher costs, billing add-ons, service outages, contact difficulties, in-home service waits and no shows have left many of these subscribers looking to off-air antennas as good additions and alternatives.
Most TV consumers think of antennas as low-tech devices, but there is more behind some of the newer antenna designs than just bent metal and plastic. Many of the TV antenna designs on the market today such as the Yagi and rabbit ears have technology roots going back 30 to 50 years or more.
The switch to digital broadcasts however is bringing consumers back to Off-Air reception and the increasing sales are providing the motivation and investments necessary to develop new models and new technology. The fact that most designs on the market now were developed prior to the advent of much of the computer technology, software and algorithms in common use today has left open numerous avenues to improve upon tried and true designs and develop new ones. Additionally, recent regulations and standards are opening new doors for antenna manufacturers to develop smaller antennas with improved performance and aesthetics.
The correct antenna, installed and aimed properly, unimpeded by obstacles such as building, hills, trees, etc. will receive desired local stations in range it's aimed at. And the new antennas, working with the newer generation ATSC chips will mitigate Multi-path for viewers in Metro/Urban locations (bounced signals), including multi-cast programming adding several additional local off-air programs and several in HD almost completely uncompressed, not available from cable or satellite.
As to obstructions such as tall buildings in metro/urban areas, viewers will have to deal with Multi-path. Multi-path is caused by these buildings and any other hard object in the line-of-sight to the broadcast towers. They cause signals to reach the antenna out of phase, confusing the ATSC (Digital) chip set in the converter box or tuner (for analog or digital TV sets).
If the signal reaching the front of the antenna is not 2 to 3 times stronger than a bounced signal from the same station reaching the back of the antenna, the ATSC chip doesn't know which signal to use, so it just keeps searching. The answer again is to up-grade to a new digital antenna, tuned to receive digital signals that help reject Multi-path signals.
Some viewers may even be able to receive out-of-town channels, carrying blacked out sports programs or network broadcasts not available in their home town. As an added benefit, an OTA antenna provides reception for second sets in homes not wired for whole-house signal distribution.
The cables you use can affect the picture you get. The quality of cable that comes FREE with home entertainment equipment is dictated by manufacturer's price considerations and is obviously not the highest quality. Some of this equipment comes with standard 20 year old A/V cable technology.
Considering the expense you've already incurred in the purchase of your home theater equipment, shouldn't you take advantage of the full picture and sound quality available. Don't send the signals through the standard supplied A/V cables, whether you're receiving your programs with an Off-Air antenna, cable or Satellite, when for a few dollars, you can upgrade to higher quality cables at a fraction of the price of the well-known brands.
Depending on the level of desire to receive an excellent free picture and multiple broadcast signals, considering the investment in TV entertainment already made by many viewers, shouldn't they consider up-grading to a new Digital Off-Air Antenna?

Is there a ATSC digital tuner that upscales to 1080p and uses Hdmi Cables?
I have a 1080p HDTV and anything that gets 1080p picture like Blu ray or upscaled DVD gets great picture. I was wondering if I can use my antenna which catches 720p and 1080i channels to plug it into a Atsc Tuner with HDMI and 1080p upscaled, Also with a guide my HDTV has a poor one. Any models?
There are several external ATSC tuners. Only a very few of which I’m aware that upscale as there is rarely if any need for them to do so when all fixed-pixel HD displays internally rescale all content whose resolution does not match the native resolution of the display. I believe the first two resources listed below offer upscaling set-top ATSC tuners; the latter three resources I believe are pass-through units only.
If either of the first two is unsatisfactory then you may want to look into full-featured HD media players and servers with integrated tuners that support ATSC signals.

Many of the external HD tuners currently available were created for applications such as digital signage, etc., where tunerless HD monitors are commonplace.
Again, there really should be no need to use an external upscaling ATSC tuner as your HDTV provides scaling and conversion.
If you want the best video scaling and conversion performance then another option is to add an external high-performance video processor such as those from Lumagen, DVDO (Simplay Labs), Calibre UK, Pixel Magic, Snell (& Wilcox), Teranex, Flexible Picture Systems, etc. But be aware that many of these video processing units easily exceed the requirements and financial budget of most consumers.

ATSC (Standards $81.25 ATSC is a set of standards developed by the Advanced Television Systems Committee for digital television transmission that replaced much of the analog NTSC television system on June 12, 2009 in the United States and will replace NTSC by August 31, 2011 in Canada and December 31, 2021 in Mexico. The ATSC standard was developed in the early 1990s by the Grand Alliance, a consortium of electronics and telecommunications companies that assembled to develop a specification for what is now known as HDTV. ATSC Standard A/53, which implemented the system developed by the Grand Alliance, was published in 1995; the standard was adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in the United States in 1996. The high definition television standards defined by the ATSC produce wide screen 16:9 images up to 19201080 pixels in size more than six times the display resolution of the earlier standard. However, many different image sizes are also supported, so that up to six standarddefinition subchannels can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz TV channel.
